Hi there, I was in the mood for coloring so I sat back with this sweet little stamp and decided to dress it up a bit. I don’t know why I never think to paper piece but finally did on this card after not getting a couple of areas to look like I wanted them too ;-). Once I went off on that tangent I actually had a lot of fun with this and then I realized that this is a great boo-boo hider. (I bet you all already knew that tho’, lol)! For the card I’m sharing today I used a super cute #232 TulipTilda available through the Magnolia-licious Store. By the way, Diana is taking preorders for a new collection called Bon Voyage. It also includes a Shopping Tilda that makes me smile – you can see that new collection HERE.
I colored Tilda with Copic Markers and pieced her dress, tag and flower. On each of the pieced items I added shadows with deeper colors although it’s hard to see in the picture. I layered Tilda on a combination of Spellbinders™ Petite Ovals LG and Petite Ovals SM and added a sentiment on to Spellbinders™ Tags Five using some Basic Grey Rub-ons I had in my stash.

Nice and bright card, Becca! Your coloring is awesome and coordinates so well with the papers. I really like the horizontal lace borders, too. Will have to keep that idea in my Tips folder.
This is simply adorable!!! Your coloring is fabulous!
Very cute! Where did “Becca Bits” go?
Oh my oh my she is sooo gorgeous. I really have to try this paperpiecing too, as it looks fantastic. I just love the way she turned out here.
Thanks sooo much for all the great inspirience always.
Biiig hugs Maryann
Very cute! Love the paper you picked!
Really really pretty. Love the colors and I’ve always like the “Bloom where you are planted” quote.
Oh your cards are always so gorgeous Becca!!! Love all the soft colors!
Beautiful card, lovely quote.
Wonderful card. Thanks for the reminder about the ‘mistake-hider.’ The shading on the pieced areas add so much needed dimension to blend with the over-all appearance of the rest of the artwork. (Superbly done, of course.) I also appreciate Maryann’s “inspirience” word which I read as inspiration/ experience, a newly-coined one to me but very descriptive and apt.
Becca, I’ve invested in my first set of Copics after drooling over your images for far too long. I also ordered a collection of Magnolias — I love your treatment of Tilda.
I have paper pieced to cover booboos before. Aren’t we just the most thrifty people not to want to waste a single snippet of paper. We spend a fortune on the tools and equipment and stamps, but then wait for paper to go on sale. Nobody would understand that logic but us’ns.

Sweet card Becca, your coloring and paper piecing are superb. I love the bright colors they are so bright and cheerful. The lace ribbon is a beautiful back drop for the main focal. Love this card. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
She’s adorable. Love it. Edna
Aaaaaw she looks adorable with those papers on her dress/tag and the sweet flower. Great choices. :-)

Love the paper piecing. Really adds to the card. We would never have known about the boo-boo, if you hadn’t told us. Any way, it’s the finished product that counts & this one turned out wonderful. I like the lace ribbon that you used.
